Your habits and perspectives most resemble those of middle-class Americans. Members of this group tend to be gentle and engaging parents, and if they're native English speakers they probably use some regional idioms and inflections. Your people are mostly college-educated, and you're about equally likely to beg children not to shout "so loudly" as you are to ask them to "read slow" during story time. You're probably a decent judge of others' emotions, and either a non-evangelical Christian, an atheist, or an agnostic. A typical member of this group breastfeeds for three months or less, drinks diet soda, and visits the dentist regularly. If you're a member of this group, there's a good chance that you roll with the flow of technological progress and hate heavy metal music.

Except for the "read slow" part, they nailed it. I'm conditioned to be a grammar Nazi after teaching for 10 years.

"Working-class parents, she found, tend to focus on raising thick-skinned and resilient children who can tough it through life's challenges, whereas middle- and upper-class parents are often more concerned with helping their kids develop high self-esteem and strong imaginations."

Why can't you do both of these, and cut out the thick-skinned, and self esteem crap?

100% correct. Thanks CSM

Same here. Suck it, proles!

So the difference in the choices, are because I can read people easier, and don't think that people are trustworthy, means I'm lower class?I'm not saying they're wrong, but this is prejudiced against empathetic folks who were taken advantage of too often.

Poor people just have more empathy, so I guess their reasoning is "If you're empathetic, you're more likely to be poor."

But why is that? *has a think*

Oh. It's because you're more likely to have concern for those around you (ie at work, at hospital, etc), for your sake as well as theirs, and because you have most likely experienced their current plight.

tlars699:Risk vs. Reward - those who risk something (getting ripped off or getting caught screwing someone over) reap a reward 9 times out of 10.

Why am I the 1 out of 10? :(

You're not as good at reading people as you think you are.

They also showed honest, overt emotion instead of intentional lying. Also, responses to just eyes or a face can be manipulated with phrasing, surrounding pictures, etc. etc. Basically, if the ads are showing you "get funny t-shirts here" you are drastically more inclined to choose "amusement" than "terror"

The second pair of eyes belongs to the so-called "Weeping Frenchman" in an iconic WWII photograph from the National Archives, whose location and photographer are both in dispute. Many attributions describe a man weeping in despair as he watched Nazi soldiers march into Paris on June 14, 1940. You earned lower-class points if you correctly guessed that he was feeling despair, rather than terror.

So because I knew those eyes were from that exact photo, and that they were of despair, that gives me lower-class points? I'm not sure I follow.

tlars699:Anyone else think it was interesting that if you're higher on the S.E. ladder, you're more likely to be a cheat, but also more likely to trust people?

People in higher socioeconomic classes show sociopathic tendencies.That's probably why they did the eye thing, which really is not a great test because people with autism or some other mental illnesses skew it.

Same here, though I'm a librarian, not a teacher.

Same results as me... but I work in IT. And I have no problem with metal.
